Disable Keyboard Keys
Overview
Part of the content-protection suite. Lets you disable selected keyboard shortcuts on the front end (devtools, search, common Ctrl/Cmd combos, function keys, etc.) for chosen roles and visitors. Shortcuts stay available inside form fields and contenteditable areas where needed. No keys are blocked until you enable at least one. Toast messaging uses the shared protection config. This is a deterrent—not airtight security.

- Sites adding friction against casual shortcut-based copying
- Teams that want selective key blocking (not a full keyboard lock)
- Stacked content-protection policies with role targeting
